Charlie is the therapist that I need. We can talk about anything that I’m interested in whether that’s sports, movies, games, or the real things. Struggles, anxieties, fears, and depression. Charlie will listen and hit you with some great perspective building. He will support you and more importantly will let you know when you’re not doing something right. He’s as much as a coach, which is what I prefer, as he is a therapist. I’m super grateful for Charlie!

I have been working with Charlie fir a year as I am a student of mental health and understand the importance of processing the stresses of daily life. He has been great and very supportive of not just my academic stresses, but also helping me through the loss of both my parents while in a master's program. I honestly don't think I would have gotten through the year like I did without his guidance, empathy, support and encouragement that I got this and yes life is messy, but we all can pull ourselves through the mud if we learn to lean on others and be okay with not always being perfect.

Charlie is a good therapist. I’m new to this so I don’t have experience. I do think Charlie is matter of fact, gentle, and thoughtful about anything I bring to the conversation. I think it would be hard to go wrong in having Charlie as your therapist.

Charlie has been such a great support for me as I’ve gone through grad school, academic probation, a faith transition, struggles with friends and family and dealing with everyday anxiety. He is helpful and empowering. He has helped me improve my self talk and coping mechanisms. He is a great listener.

Charlie’s great man. Always had good times open that work really for me. On time and really good at listening. Not just listening though, gives me therapy goals to pursue in the meantime which is pretty huge. Very friendly but knows when to hop right into what’s been bothering me the past week. I haven’t seen to many therapists but he from my point of view he is a great one!

Haven’t had many sessions with Charlie so far, but from the time I have had with him, I know I will enjoy my sessions with him. He has been extremely understanding with what I have told him about and asks questions so I give myself a different perspective. He also has checked in on me regularly which has made me feel more comfortable with my therapy journey.
